A member asked:
I have moderate acne. i have tried minocycline and clindamycin alongside tretinoin and they all worked great temporarily, but the acne comes back. what do i do since antibiotics shoukd not be used long term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotic treatment for acne susally takes about 3-4 months to allow the acne to heal. If you were not on it long enough, that could have been a problem for treatment and you may want to try antibiotics for at least 4 months. In women, spironalactone can be effective as well. Isotretinoin precription is also used for severe acne. You can discuss these options with your Dermatologist.
